CVE-2021-47386 is a NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel hardware-monitoring w83791d driver. When the driver reads a device value for which bit 3 is set, bit 7 is clear, and bits 0–2 equal bits 4–6 (a 0b0xyz1xyz pattern), obsolete lm75[] state can be accessed as a NULL pointer. The obsolete field remained after w83791d subclient detection changed to managed dummy I2C-device creation. The upstream fix removes the unnecessary lm75[] field.
